Chapter 458 The bloody case caused by a wild horse (8)
So what! I have a question about whether the "Brave" Panzer IV tank driven by a crew of four like me can defeat the opponent.
In fact, for Yang Dongli and others, it is quite clear about such an issue, or in other words, they are still a bit forced.
The answer is, it definitely can't be done.
Not to mention in such an unfair situation of one-on-two; even in a one-on-one duel, Yang Dongli and others don't have much confidence yet.
Nothing else! The driving and fighting of tanks are quite technical.
Being able to start and use it is one thing, but whether it can be used well is another matter.
Among the tank crew members, it seems that in addition to the shell loader who also doubles as a machine gun operator, a veteran from the infantry can be recruited and he can be competent with a little training.
Among the other military personnel, every one of them belongs to the absolute technical branch.
It takes a long period of training and familiarity with equipment to become a qualified tank soldier.
The long-term training and familiarity with the equipment were precisely the areas where the Zhongzhou team was weak due to limited conditions.
Therefore, if the opponent's German tank soldiers, whose training time is basically measured in years, can be killed by Yang Dongli and others so easily, isn't it nonsense?
In short, now the ashtray is under Yang Dongli's command, and the Brave is rushing forward.
Others are also prepared for a fight to the death, knowing that there is a high probability that they will be killed today.
The reason why they rush forward even though they know they are outmatched is simply because they know something.
Even if they can't beat their opponent, at such a critical moment, for the sake of the entire team's war situation, they must shoulder their responsibilities and step up.
Of course, the "Brave" driven by Yang Dongli and the others is not without some advantages in such a battle.
That is based on the experience of some later generations. During this period, they used some tools from the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory and some bits and pieces of leftover materials.
For this No. 4 tank belonging to the Zhongzhou team, some painstaking efforts were made to modify and strengthen it, giving it theoretically stronger protection and combat effectiveness.
To be more specific, some steel fences were welded to the front and rear of the tank, and some sacks filled with sand were tied up.
On both sides of the tank, use steel wire ropes to tie up some pieces of wood as thick as one person's arms.
Do the above modifications and enhancements actually have any effect? In fact, Yang Dongli and others, who are newbies in tank combat, are not very clear about it.
But this is what they say and do in many books and movies.
Then think about it, it should have some effects...
As the three tanks moving towards each other kept firing a 75mm short-barreled tank gun of the same caliber, they were approaching rapidly.
Both sides soon entered the range of the opponent's tank guns, but no one chose to stop at this moment.
They all seemed to be waiting to get closer and then kill the opponent with a fatal blow.
The problem was that Yang Dongli and the others, who only had one cannon barrel, felt a little unsure after facing their opponent's two cannon barrels.
Fortunately, just a short while after the two sides were constantly approaching, a Panzer IV tank behind the German gun suddenly had a violent explosion from the bottom.
In the explosion, the left chain of the tank was directly broken into two pieces.
Then the Panzer IV had to stop where it was and exited the tank battle.
Yang Dongli and others did not want to know what the fate of the crew of such a Panzer IV tank that had lost its action was.
Because what they are thinking about now is how to kill their opponents in a one-on-one fair situation.
****
With the original two opponents, one of them was killed by his teammates. The opponent was suddenly reduced by 50%, which was a huge joy.
Yang Dongli stuck his head out of the tank turret and looked at the battle situation. After calculating a series of data in his mind, he held a microphone in his mouth.
He shouted loudly: "Stop, 7 o'clock direction, 600 meters away, fire an armor-piercing round." Gu
Yes! Lao Yang did not give the wrong order. He indeed stopped the tank's advance before firing.
The main reason is that the Panzer IV can of course fire when it is in motion, and it has such a function. However, in this age when there is no two-way stabilizer for tank guns, at such a long distance, firing out a gun is equivalent to a lonely fight.
The normal way to open it is to suddenly stop during operation, lock it on the target and then fire it.
Under Commander Yang's command, the driver suddenly stopped the tank.
Before the tank even stopped completely, Shi Polu had already passed the observation window and began to adjust the muzzle desperately.
After the tank stopped for two or three seconds, he stepped on it, hit the firing pedal, and fired an armor-piercing projectile that had been filled in by the magic stick through electrical stimulation.
As the entire car body shook violently, a 75 mm caliber tungsten core armor-piercing bullet was fired towards the target.
Then, there is two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news is a bit nonsense, that is, during the spare time of the battle, I drove this Panzer IV tank for several hours in the tractor factory.
The crew even took the time to fire a dozen rounds of live ammunition, and now they are no longer such rookies.
More specifically, no one's head was knocked off or their head was knocked out in the violent shaking of the cannon fire.
The two bad news are that, first, their shell landed more than 10 meters away from the target, without even damaging a hair on the opponent's body.
Secondly, in comparison, the opponent's accuracy is much better.
As if there was a tacit understanding, the two sides stopped advancing almost at the same time, and then fired a cannonball at the opponent.
Unfortunately, a cannonball from the opposite side hit and landed directly six or seven meters away from the Brave One.
Even at that time, Yang Dongli was so shocked that he retracted his head into the turret in advance and was not hurt by the shrapnel that hit the armor.
But a large cloud of snowflakes splashed up by the force of the explosion slammed into the uncovered turret, falling all over Yang Dongli's head and face.
Under such a cold stimulation, Yang Dongli immediately realized something clearly:
They must not stay where they are, otherwise the next adjusted cannonball from the opposite side will hit them and they will be suspended.
Immediately, this guy yelled: "Ashtray, hurry up and let the tank run and rush over. We have to get closer to hit each other."
After hearing this, Ashtray didn't even have time to reply "I understand" in the emergency.
With a strong push of the operating lever, under the maximum horsepower output, the 20-ton Panzer IV tank rushed out like a bull.
Then they started to move. For about seven or eight seconds, a shell landed right where they were.
In other words, if they had chosen to use hard steel in place, they would have been shot by now.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent had just opened fire, Yang Dongli had heard that the 75mm tank gun would take at least 10 seconds to load manually.
He immediately yelled again: "Stop the car, lower the muzzle slightly, position at 4:30 on the right, 530 meters away, fire~"
Then Yang Dongli found out speechlessly that he missed the target again.
The shell fired this time was a high-explosive shell, which landed on the left side of the opposite tank, about five or six meters away.
Overall, it's much better than the previous shot, but it's far from enough.
"Ashtray, keep going." Seeing this, Yang Dongli roared again.
He has finally discovered that when commanding a tank to fight, it really takes a lot of effort; because the noise of this antique tank is really too loud.
At the same time, after the magic stick opened the barrel of the cannon, a hot bullet casing slipped out.
Not caring about such a small situation, the magician quickly pulled out a high-explosive bomb from the ammunition depot behind him and loaded it into it.
In the end, the two tanks rushed to a position within 100 meters and stopped moving forward.
Instead, he continued to maneuver and fired at his opponent...
